Fury Functional Fitness

As someone who didn’t grow up athletic, I entered the fitness world later than the average trainer. I fell in love with strength training because the stronger I got, the more I believed in myself. The more I believed in myself, the more capable I became. I began achieving things I previously thought were out of my reach. The turning point came after I did my first pull-up, having been told my entire life that “girls like me” couldn’t do pull-ups. I knew then I wanted to make fitness my life.

The principles of functional fitness continue to teach me countless lessons in perseverance. They have helped me achieve fitness goals as well as my PhD. They are also what sparked my desire to open Fury Functional Fitness. I love watching clients do something they never thought possible and seeing their confidence shift into a higher gear. There is something so rewarding about witnessing people become stronger and more mobile. It thrills me beyond measure that I get to wake up every day and help people become the healthiest versions of themselves.

I enjoy working with individuals who simply want to improve themselves and improve their fitness levels.  In 2007, I lost 60 pounds through nothing more than hard work, dedication, and discipline.  Since then, I have  been certified as a Russian Kettlebell Instructor.  I have instructed everyone from previously sedentary women to NCAA Division I athletes and enjoy assisting people in the attainment of their fitness goals.

Fitness has always been a part of my life. Growing up with three brothers we always played sports whether it was for fun or competitively. As my journey in the fitness world progressed my curiosity grew stronger. I furthered my education in Kinesiology at San Diego State University with an emphasis in Fitness Specialist. Although completing my degree, my knowledge in fitness will always be ever growing and will always strive to learn new techniques to better help my clients.

I believe it is important to have a balanced lifestyle. You can still workout and enjoy your favorite foods, health and enjoyment are key elements to living a happy life. I want to make the fitness experience fun yet effective where you can easily incorporate it into your lifestyle. It is my goal to keep you motivated and focused on your fitness journey using quick corrective feedback and patience to bring out your true potential.

Family has played a big part in how I structure my training. This has translated to clients becoming more like friends and less like clients. I genuinely care about people’s health and wellness by pushing them to their limits to achieve their lifelong fitness goals. Making changes is tough and that is why I will be by your side one rep at a time to ensure a lifetime of sucess.
